Issues vs. quotes
Despite what his spokesperson says he was found guilty of ethics violation and had to pay a $300,000 fine. The panel found that he violated Rule 42 many times. The last three charges were dropped, as his spokesman said, in 1998 but not because they were without merit. The committee found that there was no evidence that he was still violating the rule and saw no reason to impose further sanctions.<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/101198.htm</ref><ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/gingrich123198.htm</ref> I'm going to remove the quote from his spokesperson.

==Issues vs. quotes==
I've started a new section, which shows his stand on issues (or at least indicates areas of concern to him). This may contain direct quotations, but it would not be a random collection of quotes. Wikipedia has quote farms, some of which are use for [[quote mining]] (like "Bushisms"): Gingrich said this, see how it proves he's a nutcase!
I want our readers to be able to read a straightforward statement of the man's views, not "distortion by selection". See [[Star Parker]] for a test case. See also [[Quotation out of context]] and [[Putting words into someone's mouth]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:27, 9 January 2012 (EST)
